Old Makimba Had a Farm

by Rachel Isadora

It seems like all young children are familiar

with Old MacDonald! In this version, set in

Africa, preschoolers can learn about different

kinds of animals, from cheetahs to baboons.

Best of all, children can sing along on the “E-I-

E-I-O” chorus, which keeps them actively

engaged in the story while enjoying singing as

a group.
